    Complete the table with the underlined words from the first page:

    1. 2. 3.
    small smaller smallest

    Words in column 1 are called adjectives: they describe things.

    We use the comparative form (column 2) to compare two things (or two groups of things).
     short adjectives: we add “-er” at the end
     long adjectives: we use “more” before it
    Remember: We use “THAN” after the comparative!

    We use the superlative form (column 3) to say that a thing has a superior quality compared
    to others.
     short adjectives: we add “-est” at the end
     long adjectives: we use “most” before it

    Remember: We use “THE” before the superlative!

    Exceptions: some adjectives have irregular forms:


    far  farther (than)  the farthest
    good  better (than)  the best
    bad  worse (than)  the worst

    Now let’s practice!

    Earth is ……………………….(far) from the Sun than Venus.
